Review Test Records

Polarion maintains a record of all instances of the execution of a Test Case during any Test Run which includes the Test Case. You can review the most recent records for any Test Case in the Test Records section of the Work Item Editor when a Test Case is selected. You can view the past test execution records up to the limit set in the system configuration, selecting the period in the drop-down list provided. The Test Records section shows the results of the reported test executions, including Iterations of Test Steps and provides links to each of the Test Runs. The current content of the Test Records section is included if the Test Case is sent to Print. If the record table contains additional details, its content is expandable.

Each Test Record is linked to the revision of the test case that was executed during the testing session that resulted in the creation of the record.

Advanced Test Record queries

Polarion has an embedded SQL database layer that can facilitate Work Item queries in traceability reports and with other complex querying needs. One common need is some query function that enables you to search for Work Items such as test cases, or defects, according to Test Records — to find items matching such descriptions as "failed test cases executed by me in last week", or "defects triggered by test cases", to cite just two of many possible examples.

The TEST_RECORDS keyword, with parameters, can be used in the Work Items Table view for such kinds of queries. It bypasses the usual Lucene query engine and queries the index of the SQL database layer.

For information on syntax and parameters, and usage examples, see the Reference topic Test Records query extender.
